6
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:12,810
here that I had to sort out also last
Sunday I was at the top of a tree with
7
00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:18,380
mr. Steve cutting some of the branches
off one of my conifers so I was very
8
00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:24,80
busy last Sunday I had some things that
I had to sort out and also I had to help
9
00:04:24,80 --> 00:04:29,419
mr. Steve with one of our big trees in
the garden so that's what I was doing
10
00:04:29,419 --> 00:04:36,930
last Sunday of course I was with you on
Monday I did a short live stream on
11
00:04:36,930 --> 00:04:43,460
Monday just to explain why I wasn't here
but we are together once again live on
12
00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:47,30
YouTube
thanks a lot for joining me today once
13
00:04:47,30 --> 00:04:55,400
again sorry for last Sunday to those who
were waiting for me I did have one or
14
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,390
two people say mr. Duncan where were you
yeah mr. Duncan we were waiting for you
15
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:07,770
last Sunday
but you didn't appear on the Internet
16
00:05:07,770 --> 00:05:11,270
what happened well I've already
explained what happened so I I do
17
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:22,560
apologize very much for that
welcome to a Sunday it's very dull damp
18
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,260
and dismal today which is a pity because
we've had some lovely weather recently
19
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:38,50
we've had some lovely hot summer days
but today it is very dull damp and
20
00:05:38,50 --> 00:05:45,540
dismal look at those words they are all
pretty pretty negative words very
21
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:54,840
negative and dull something that is
lifeless or dark damp something that is
22
00:05:54,840 --> 00:06:03,380
soaked it is wet it is clammy it is
unpleasant and of course dismal dismal
23
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:11,580
something that is dark or dull or
unpleasant something that's not very
24
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:19,530
nice to look at we can say it is dismal
so today sadly we have no sunshine it is
25
00:06:19,530 --> 00:06:27,50
a dull damp dismal day here in England
so I do apologise we're not going
26
00:06:27,50 --> 00:06:31,370
outside today sadly I won't be going out
into the garden because today
27
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:38,120
unfortunately it is raining we've had a
lot of rain here today so as I've
28
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:47,450
already mentioned it is dull damp and
dismal alright I think we're all clear
29
00:06:47,450 --> 00:06:54,140
on that I have had some complaints
during the week besides the message is
30
00:06:54,140 --> 00:06:58,560
asking where I was last Sunday
I've also
31
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,290
someone I've had someone write to me
saying mr. Duncan sometimes you repeat
32
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:09,169
yourself especially when you are saying
hello to your viewers you seem to repeat
33
00:07:09,169 --> 00:07:15,110
yourself over and over again when you
are saying hello mr. Duncan sometimes
34
00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:22,340
you are like a broken record now I must
say I think that is very unfair one of
35
00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:28,280
the reasons why I like to say hello to
my viewers is because you have been with
36
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:34,830
me for all of these years don't forget
I've been here doing this for over 10
37
00:07:34,830 --> 00:07:42,540
years on YouTube so I really like to
return the fact that you have been here
38
00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:48,750
supporting me and it is because of you
you are the reason why I come back every
39
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:54,510
week to do my live streams so that is
the reason why I am here I am only here
40
00:07:54,510 --> 00:08:01,40
because of you so I love saying hello to
my to my students and also my viewers
41
00:08:01,40 --> 00:08:08,820
all around the world so that's the
reason why I do say hello to many of my
42
00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:14,330
viewers and many of those who are
watching today for example in the live
43
00:08:14,330 --> 00:08:22,590
chat so I will be saying hello to some
people so I do apologise to those who
44
00:08:22,590 --> 00:08:28,130
think sometimes I am like a broken
record but I can say now that sometimes
45
00:08:28,130 --> 00:08:33,190
I do repeat myself but of course don't
forget we always have new viewers
46
00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:39,289
joining me all the time so for some
people they might discover this live
47
00:08:39,289 --> 00:08:45,530
stream without knowing what it is so
sometimes I have to explain what this is
48
00:08:45,530 --> 00:08:50,970
so those who have just joined me will
know what is going on so that is the
49
00:08:50,970 --> 00:08:56,550
problem that is one of the things about
doing something live and doing something
50
00:08:56,550 --> 00:09:01,980
for a long time so because I'm here for
two hours I sometimes have to explain
51
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:08,780
the same thing again and again it's a
little bit like learning English really
52
00:09:08,780 --> 00:09:11,480
because when you learn English it is
very good
53
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,290
to repeat things this is one of my tips
for those who are learning English never
54
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:25,310
be afraid to repeat things if you are
learning new words if you are trying to
55
00:09:25,310 --> 00:09:32,910
remember things if you are trying to get
words to stay in your brain then it is
56
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:40,500
good to repeat things never be afraid to
repeat things that you are learning or
57
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:45,190
things that you are reading especially
when you are trying to remember them
58
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:53,730
lots of things coming up today lots of
news first of all a few days ago I had a
59
00:09:53,730 --> 00:09:59,699
special visitor we hosted mr. Steve's
mum
60
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:07,680
yes mr. Steve's mum came to stay
mr. Steve's mum stayed here a few days
61
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:13,220
ago and we had a lovely time do you want
to see where we went we had we had some
62
00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:22,709
lovely day trips we went to a place
called the long mynd there it is the
63
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:27,899
long mynd in Shropshire not very far
away from where I live but this is a
64
00:10:27,899 --> 00:10:34,769
beautiful area lots of beautiful green
hills and the views from the top of
65
00:10:34,769 --> 00:10:40,130
these hills is absolutely stunning so
there it is this is some video footage
66
00:10:40,130 --> 00:10:45,170
that I shot on my mobile phone
so this place you can see now is called
67
00:10:45,170 --> 00:10:55,160
the long mynd and there are some sheep
they look very happy and content in fact
68
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,319
they were sitting right next to the car
and there is another view of the long
69
00:11:00,319 --> 00:11:06,440
mynd in a moment you will see mr. Steve
and his mum walking along in the
70
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:12,779
distance there in a very far distance
you can just see the wrekin so that is
71
00:11:12,779 --> 00:11:19,10
where I live near the wrekin and there I
am walking along walking along the long
72
00:11:19,10 --> 00:11:28,850
mynd long mynd means long
Mountain and there is the view and look
73
00:11:28,850 --> 00:11:34,150
can you see in the distance there is mr.
Steve with his mother walking along the
74
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:42,40
top of the long mynd if you look just to
the right you can see some houses in the
75
00:11:42,40 --> 00:11:48,890
distance that place is called church
Stretton Church Stretton and there it is
76
00:11:48,890 --> 00:11:55,790
a close-up of church Stretton
a very beautiful place very close to the
77
00:11:55,790 --> 00:12:01,120
long mynd very scenic so there there it
is look at that
78
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:12,650
mr. Steve's mum came to stay for a few
days looking across towards the
79
00:12:12,650 --> 00:12:16,790
mountains and there is the wrekin once
again in the distance just towards the
80
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:24,800
top left and there is mr. Steve with his
mum walking along it was a beautiful day
81
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,200
even though it was very cloudy the
weather was lovely it was quite warm
82
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:35,870
quite humid hopefully in a moment we
will get to see mr. Steve and his mum
83
00:12:35,870 --> 00:12:43,640
close up but where are you mr. Duncan
why can't we see you well you can't see
84
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,460
me because I'm the one doing the filming
that's the reason why oh look at that
85
00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:58,270
some some crows are gathering above one
of the hills so there another shot taken
86
00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:05,80
at the long wind whilst mr. Steve and
his mum were enjoying a walk there they
87
00:13:05,80 --> 00:13:12,450
go off into the sunset off into the
distance sadly there is no sunset just
88
00:13:12,450 --> 00:13:21,430
lots of cloud so mr. Steve's mum came to
stay with us for a few days she had a
89
00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:27,400
lovely time and I must say mr. Steve's
mum has a lot of energy in fact she has
90
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:34,120
a lot more energy than I do I was
complaining at this moment I was
91
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,779
complaining because I was feeling a
little tired but mr. Steve's mum just
92
00:13:38,779 --> 00:13:44,259
wanted to keep walking and walking so I
think it's safe to say that mr. Steve's
93
00:13:44,259 --> 00:13:54,69
mom has more energy well certainly more
energy than I do and there is the wrekin
94
00:13:54,69 --> 00:13:59,720
once again in the distance can you see
it right in the distance and that is
95
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:13,550
near to where I live another shot a
little closer giving you a a sense of
96
00:14:13,550 --> 00:14:23,170
the landscape so this particular place
is very scenic very wild you really
97
00:14:23,170 --> 00:14:27,860
should come here in the winter in the
winter this place is amazing it's really
98
00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:37,910
cold and very windy very few people come
up here during the winter only the
99
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:44,50
bravest of walkers will come to the long
mynd during the winter months because it
100
00:14:44,50 --> 00:14:55,579
gets very wild here as you can imagine Iah
Muhammad says boring bye bye I love
101
00:14:55,579 --> 00:14:59,399
saying goodbye to people there you go
then well you don't have to watch it
102
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:09,860
he's gone now so there's mr. Steve and
his mum I think they're waiting for a
103
00:15:09,860 --> 00:15:16,120
bus it looks like they're waiting for a
bus I have news for them there aren't
104
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:21,120
any buses up here hi there
105
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:31,990
so there we go that was our little trip
to one of the local landmarks around
106
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:37,20
this area a place called the long mynd
I'm sure later you will be looking it up
107
00:15:37,20 --> 00:15:41,620
on the Internet
I'm sure later you will be checking on
108
00:15:41,620 --> 00:15:48,210
Google to find out where the long mynd
is talking of Google have you ever
109
00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:55,230
googled yourself have you ever gone on
to Google and put your own name into the
110
00:15:55,230 --> 00:16:03,580
search engine have you ever done that I
have and I must admit I did get some
111
00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:07,440
very interesting results
I did get some interesting results from
112
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:13,570
my search when I entered my own name a
little bit later on we are going to do
113
00:16:13,570 --> 00:16:19,230
just that I am going to put my name into
Google I am going to put mr. Duncan into
114
00:16:19,230 --> 00:16:25,200
Google and I'm going to see what we get
I'm going to do it live I have done it
115
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,420
before but today I thought it would be
interesting to put mr. Duncan into
116
00:16:30,420 --> 00:16:36,970
Google and see what appears but have you
ever done that have you ever put your
117
00:16:36,970 --> 00:16:41,400
name or maybe a name of someone you know
or maybe the place in which you live
118
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:48,990
have you ever put it into Google as a
search have you ever searched for
119
00:16:48,990 --> 00:16:53,650
yourself so that is one of the questions
I'm asking you today have you ever
120
00:16:53,650 --> 00:17:04,900
googled yourself a little bit later on I
will Google mr. Duncan just to see what
121
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:10,870
happens so the live chat is up in
running we have lots of people here
122
00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:15,940
today in a few moments we're going to
have a look at some video footage some
123
00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:21,480
video clips from many of my lessons of
course on my youtube channel there are
124
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:28,590
lots of video lessons and just in case
you were wondering all of my video
125
00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:34,170
playlists are under this video so
underneath this video you can find all
126
00:17:34,170 --> 00:17:41,120
of my video lessons
teaching you the English language all
127
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:50,250
under this video you can check those
later on if you wish we're gonna have a
128
00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:57,270
look at one of my lessons that I did
during October 2013 and also we are
129
00:17:57,270 --> 00:18:04,780
going to take a look at excerpts from my
full English lessons as well so all at
130
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:09,330
to come also you may have noticed behind
me there are some questions on the board
131
00:18:09,330 --> 00:18:16,750
so first of all have you ever googled
yourself another thing I thought would
132
00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:21,120
be interesting to talk about today if
you wish to if you want to do you know
133
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:30,570
any British TV programs are you aware of
any British TV shows do you watch
134
00:18:30,570 --> 00:18:38,70
British television programs so are there
any British TV shows that you know do
135
00:18:38,70 --> 00:18:44,890
you know any British TV shows and when
we talk about TV shows we are talking
136
00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:48,90
about TV programs made in Britain so
anything really
137
00:18:48,90 --> 00:18:53,490
anything that's made in England or maybe
something made in Scotland or maybe
138
00:18:53,490 --> 00:19:01,230
Wales or Northern Ireland
anything made in Britain or the UK do
139
00:19:01,230 --> 00:19:08,220
you know any British TV shows a little
bit later on I will show you some
140
00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:14,490
British TV shows yes all of that coming
later on as well we have so much stuff
141
00:19:14,490 --> 00:19:24,110
to do today also I have some big news
for you it looks as if I am going to get
142
00:19:24,110 --> 00:19:31,780
new neighbors per person who lives next
door to me has decided to sell their
143
00:19:31,780 --> 00:19:34,140
house I don't know why I don't think
it's my fault
144
00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:40,810
I don't think that living next door to
me is all that bad to be honest so I
145
00:19:40,810 --> 00:19:44,860
don't think it's my fault that my
neighbors are moving but they are and
146
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:49,320
they are selling their house so it looks
as if very soon I'm going to get some
147
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:57,550
new neighbours
oh my gosh new neighbors coming here
148
00:19:57,550 --> 00:20:00,180
very soon
and can you see the way I spell neighbor
149
00:20:00,180 --> 00:20:09,880
you will notice that there is a you the
letter U in neighbor because of course
150
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:17,250
the spelling is British English spelling
so very soon I have a new neighbor but
151
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:21,600
who will it be
I must admit I'm feeling very nervous
152
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:27,230
because of course sometimes neighbors
can be very good and sometimes neighbors
153
00:20:27,230 --> 00:20:34,440
can be very bad and annoying so very
soon I am going to get a new neighbor
154
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,440
living next door to me but who will it
be
155
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:45,670

lots of people watching in Vietnam mr.
Duncan
193
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:58,210
what is cynic cynic a person who is a
cynic is a person who always looks at
194
00:24:58,210 --> 00:25:04,610
the negative or the the dark side of
something the negative side a cynical
195
00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:10,520
person always questions everything
around them they are they tend to be
196
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,530
very negative a person who has a
negative view of things or they think
197
00:25:15,530 --> 00:25:21,370
maybe there are hidden reasons for
things occurring they are often
198
00:25:21,370 --> 00:25:32,810
described as being a cynic cynic a
person is cynical Pedro is here hello
199
00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:35,990
mr. Duncan you live near a mountainous
area
200
00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:41,930
I don't live too far from the mountains
that you saw earlier
201
00:25:41,930 --> 00:25:46,240
I don't live very far away in fact I
think I can see them from my house even
202
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:53,810
though they are very far away
Lian lui agrees with me
203
00:25:53,810 --> 00:26:00,370
thank you very much Lian yes mr. Duncan
I agree repeating makes us learn faster
204
00:26:00,370 --> 00:26:06,710
yes I agree as well because as I
mentioned earlier many people are very
205
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:12,310
afraid they are scared they are very
worried about repeating things again and
206
00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:19,810
again but I always say that one of the
main parts of learning anything new is
207
00:26:19,810 --> 00:26:25,730
repetition never be afraid to repeat
things and of course that includes my
208
00:26:25,730 --> 00:26:31,760
video lessons you can watch my lessons
many many times the more you repeat it
209
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:39,830
the more will go into your head the more
you will remember so thank you Leon for
210
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:47,200
agreeing with me there are some people
who disagree but whatever mr. Duncan
211
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,460
what is the time there you can see the
clock down there that is the live clock
212
00:26:51,460 --> 00:26:58,510
it is now coming up to half-past two
now we are going to have a look at an
213
00:26:58,510 --> 00:27:07,0
excerpt from one of my October lessons
that I did in 2013 many people have
214
00:27:07,0 --> 00:27:16,970
asked about my special lessons that I
did way back in 2013 and I did them over
215
00:27:16,970 --> 00:27:23,320
the whole of October so I did 31 lessons
in October and what you are about to see
216
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:31,360
is the first-ever dunctober lesson dunctober of course is a
217
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:38,320
combination of Duncan and October and
it's worth mentioning that in this video
218
00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:42,480
there is a very special guest.
219
00:30:04,660 --> 00:30:09,300
do you remember that were you around in
2013 when I did my special October
220
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:17,820
lesson so there it was a clip of my
first ever October lesson that I did in
221
00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:25,230
2013 it was a very special month way
back in 2013 when I did a lesson every
222
00:30:25,230 --> 00:30:36,580
day so there were actually 31 lessons
that I did during October 2013 so I hope
223
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:41,950
you enjoyed that and of course mr. Lomax
did you see mr. Lomax was also in the
224
00:30:41,950 --> 00:30:48,480
video many people are asking many people
always ask who is mr. Lomax mr. Duncan
225
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,80
who is he
226
00:30:52,770 --> 00:31:00,150
mr. Lomax is one of my friends that get
involved now and again and he happens to
227
00:31:00,150 --> 00:31:08,770
be a monkey Monica says I am NOT a
morning person mr. Duncan I feel the
228
00:31:08,770 --> 00:31:12,420
same about getting up in the morning I
hate waking up in the morning I hate
229
00:31:12,420 --> 00:31:19,350
getting out of bed in the morning
because I always feel so groggy I always
230
00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:27,420
feel so sleepy so tired so I don't like
waking up too early there's nothing
231
00:31:27,420 --> 00:31:31,470
worse than having to wake up very early
in the morning one of the worst things
232
00:31:31,470 --> 00:31:36,450
to do is if you have to catch a plane if
you have to get to the airport for a
233
00:31:36,450 --> 00:31:41,310
very early flight now that to me is one
of the worst things you have to do so
234
00:31:41,310 --> 00:31:45,420
you have to get it very early maybe four
o'clock or five o'clock in the morning
235
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:50,770
and then you have to travel to the
airport because you are catching a very
236
00:31:50,770 --> 00:31:56,190
early plane so I hate that I don't like
waking up too early I normally wake up
237
00:31:56,190 --> 00:32:03,170
at around about 8 o'clock in the morning
so that's my my normal waking up time a
238
00:32:03,170 --> 00:32:09,510
lot of people joining in now I think
they are watching from the beginning of
239
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:15,700
course you can follow this from the
beginning you can rewind this actual
240
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:20,960
livestream if
you are watching it now because YouTube
241
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:26,140
is amazing talking of YouTube because
YouTube is owned by Google a little bit
242
00:32:26,140 --> 00:32:33,400
later on I am going to Google myself I'm
going to put mr. Duncan into the Google
243
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:39,190
search engine and I'm going to see what
happens when I search myself so have you
244
00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:46,970
have you ever googled yourself have you
ever looked for yourself on the Internet
245
00:32:46,970 --> 00:32:52,260
some people say that if you do that you
are very narcissistic you are very
246
00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:58,270
self-centered and egotistical but I
think it's fun I don't think there's
247
00:32:58,270 --> 00:33:03,620
anything wrong with looking for yourself
on Google nothing wrong with it so a
248
00:33:03,620 --> 00:33:09,670
little bit later on I am going to Google
myself right now I think we should have
249
00:33:09,670 --> 00:33:17,540
shall we have a Flash word yes we will
have a Flash word and then after that we
250
00:33:17,540 --> 00:33:23,20
are going to have a look at today's
mystery idioms yeah the mystery idioms
251
00:33:23,20 --> 00:33:30,130
are back and we will be taking a look at
those very soon but right now let's have
252
00:33:30,130 --> 00:33:34,80
a flash word
253
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:46,220
today's Flash word will be done it will
be given it will be read out in the
254
00:33:46,220 --> 00:34:08,240
living room that's nice oh look a change
of scenery now we are going to change
255
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:14,820
the scenery slightly so here I am now
sitting in my living room and we have
256
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:19,280
yes we have a flash word to show you can
you see it I hope so I hope it is clear
257
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:27,860
on your screen so today's first flash
word is stalemate
258
00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:36,540
stalemate stalemate stalemate is an
english noun and verb the word stalemate
259
00:34:36,540 --> 00:34:41,0
is an english word that in noun form
means to reach a point where there is no
260
00:34:41,0 --> 00:34:48,600
opportunity to continue stalemate refers
to there being no possible further
261
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,830
action or progress the negotiations
between the workers and their employee
262
00:34:54,830 --> 00:35:02,850
ended in stalemate a situation in which
further action or progress by opposing
263
00:35:02,850 --> 00:35:10,130
or competing parties seems impossible in
the game of chess a position counting as
264
00:35:10,130 --> 00:35:18,510
a draw in which a player is not in check
but cannot move except in to check in
265
00:35:18,510 --> 00:35:27,200
other words the other person cannot win
the other person cannot win as a verb
266
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:34,400
the word stalemate means to do something
that brings about the actual stalemate
267
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:44,240
so stalemate can be used as both a noun
and a verb to reach a point where no
268
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:51,130
further action or progress is possible
stalemate
269
00:35:51,130 --> 00:35:56,420
we will often hear about political
negotiations between leaders of
270
00:35:56,420 --> 00:36:03,259
countries and quite often they will
debate or they will talk and perhaps at
271
00:36:03,259 --> 00:36:08,299
some point they will reach a moment
where they cannot continue because
272
00:36:08,299 --> 00:36:14,789
neither will agree
so one party will not agree with the
273
00:36:14,789 --> 00:36:19,160
other one they will not come to a
solution they cannot reach a solution so
274
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:27,130
we can describe that situation as being
stalemate I hope you enjoyed our first
275
00:36:27,130 --> 00:36:35,999
flash word for today and now we're going
back into the studio by the way mr.
276
00:36:35,999 --> 00:36:41,819
steve is in the garden today so you
might actually see mr. Steve walking
277
00:36:41,819 --> 00:36:47,930
around behind me at some point okay
let's go back
278
00:36:58,870 --> 00:37:11,380
it's a very busy one today
a very very busy busy lesson and there
279
00:37:11,380 --> 00:37:17,810
here I am here I'm Banach so I have a
new neighbor soon my my neighbor my
280
00:37:17,810 --> 00:37:25,880
current neighbor has just put their
house on the market and I'm sure it will
281
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,380
sell very quickly because lots of people
want to live around here because it's
282
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:37,730
very scenic so I might be getting a new
neighbor soon but who will it be I must
283
00:37:37,730 --> 00:37:44,900
admit I feel a little nervous about that
but not to worry I will be as kind and
284
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:48,910
as friendly as I can to my new neighbor
I will welcome them to the neighborhood
285
00:37:48,910 --> 00:37:54,160
so there is no problem there back to the
live chat because we have lots of people
286
00:37:54,160 --> 00:38:00,330
queuing up now on the live chat let's
have a look
287
00:38:03,850 --> 00:38:09,710
fatty-fatty says hello everybody
practice makes perfect if someone wants
288
00:38:09,710 --> 00:38:13,360
to make a conversation in English I am
ready lots of people are very eager
289
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:23,710
these days to learn English English is a
growing language growing all the time
290
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:33,650
lela lela rude ani says yes mr. duncan
more than once I have googled myself I
291
00:38:33,650 --> 00:38:36,460
don't think there's anything wrong with
googling yourself if you want to see
292
00:38:36,460 --> 00:38:47,750
what the Internet has about you or about
me I think it's fair I think it's okay
293
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:51,310
to look onto the onto the Internet and
have a little peep have a little look to
294
00:38:51,310 --> 00:39:02,280
find out what the Internet has stored
about you why not mr. Duncan
295
00:39:02,410 --> 00:39:11,599
I need to learn too much or very much
maybe very much is a better way of
296
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:20,410
expressing that Estella says I googled
myself on Facebook to see how many
297
00:39:20,410 --> 00:39:25,150
people with my name
there were ah that's very good it's
298
00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:30,10
amazing if you go onto the Internet
and certainly if you think you have an
299
00:39:30,10 --> 00:39:35,319
unusual name maybe you think your name
is very unusual you might be surprised
300
00:39:35,319 --> 00:39:41,109
to find that there are many people in
the world who share your name so yes I
301
00:39:41,109 --> 00:39:44,49
think that's quite an interesting point
to make
302
00:39:44,49 --> 00:39:53,510
Thank You Estella Estella Viloria who
apparently has googled herself there is
303
00:39:53,510 --> 00:40:01,59
some big news coming today just in case
you are a viewer of one particular TV
304
00:40:01,59 --> 00:40:09,589
programme Doctor Who do you ever watch
Doctor Who Doctor Who is a British TV
305
00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:15,190
show and today they will be announcing
the producers of the program are going
306
00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:23,170
to announce the new Doctor Who have you
ever watched Doctor Who it's a very
307
00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:33,819
popular program Doctor Who started in
1963 and it's still running now
308
00:40:33,819 --> 00:40:42,500
fifty-four years later so 54 years
Doctor Who has been running with a
309
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:46,180
slight break of course because at the
end of the 1980s they stopped making the
310
00:40:46,180 --> 00:40:53,750
program and then they started making it
again in the late 1990s if I remember
311
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:57,890
rightly there was a feature film and
then they started making the TV show
312
00:40:57,890 --> 00:41:04,670
again so today they will be announcing
the new actor who will be playing Doctor
313
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:10,359
Who and apparently lots of people think
that the new Doctor Who will be a female
314
00:41:10,359 --> 00:41:15,380
a female Doctor Who for the first time
ever
315
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:21,109
a lot of people have their own
suggestions their own ideas who will be
316
00:41:21,109 --> 00:41:28,160
the new Doctor Who this will be the
thirteenth actor the thirteenth actor to
317
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:34,849
play Doctor Who apparently do you ever
watch doctor there are lots of
318
00:41:34,849 --> 00:41:42,19
interesting TV shows made here in
Britain there is Doctor Who for those
319
00:41:42,19 --> 00:41:50,289
who aren't sure and that is a DVD taken
from one of the very first stories this
320
00:41:50,289 --> 00:42:02,299
particular story comes from 1964 so this
is the very early days of Doctor Who do
321
00:42:02,299 --> 00:42:08,269
you ever watch it I can't watch it much
nowadays I used to watch it when I was a
322
00:42:08,269 --> 00:42:14,89
child so I used to watch Doctor Who when
I was very little and it used to scare
323
00:42:14,89 --> 00:42:22,160
me so much it was a really scary program
so children of my age when I was about
324
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,960
seven or eight I used to watch Doctor
Who all the time even though it used to
325
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:33,599
scare me so much I used to go behind the
sofa I used to hide behind the sofa
326
00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:40,769
because I was so afraid there are of
course lots of British TV shows around
327
00:42:40,769 --> 00:42:46,160
some of them I'm going to mention right
now now I am a very big fan of satire I
328
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:56,240
like satire satire means to make fun of
something or to have or make jokes about
329
00:42:56,240 --> 00:43:04,950
a certain thing so these are two TV
shows that I watched many years ago when
330
00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:12,509
they are on and these particular shows
are satires of the news so these two
331
00:43:12,509 --> 00:43:19,69
programs satire the news they make fun
they are sarcastic towards the way in
332
00:43:19,69 --> 00:43:26,880
which news is reported so those are two
programs that I used to watch have you
333
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,220
ever seen them are you familiar with
these TV program
334
00:43:30,220 --> 00:43:36,260
let's have a look at another one I'm
sure many people will be familiar with
335
00:43:36,260 --> 00:43:45,840
this TV show the office of course
originally a British program but of
336
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:51,780
course there was also a version made in
the USA so there are two versions of
337
00:43:51,780 --> 00:43:57,840
this TV program the original version was
made in Britain it is a British TV
338
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:03,80
program and then later there was an
American version a version made in the
339
00:44:03,80 --> 00:44:12,140
USA starring that guy the one with the
beard Ricky Gervais --ts can you see him
340
00:44:12,140 --> 00:44:19,400
there he is
thought Ricky Gervais is the star of the
341
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:28,0
office have you ever watched the office
it is a comedy show talking about and
342
00:44:28,0 --> 00:44:38,50
showing life in a typical British office
another TV show now this is also satire
343
00:44:38,50 --> 00:44:45,900
Alan Partridge have you ever heard of
Alan Partridge a very popular TV show in
344
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:53,970
the 1990s it also was made into a movie
as well so there it is I'm Alan
345
00:44:53,970 --> 00:45:02,90
Partridge have you ever seen it and of
course we couldn't talk about British TV
346
00:45:02,90 --> 00:45:13,10
shows without mentioning this programme
of course yes mind your language mind
347
00:45:13,10 --> 00:45:21,260
your language a British TV show made in
the 1970s and 1980s and this TV
348
00:45:21,260 --> 00:45:29,610
programme takes a humorous look at a
group of students who are learning
349
00:45:29,610 --> 00:45:35,30
English as a Second Language many of my
viewers many of you have watched this
350
00:45:35,30 --> 00:45:43,400
now on YouTube and this is a British TV
programme made many years ago
351
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:56,660
in the late 1970s believe it or not but
very popular very popular now finally I
352
00:45:56,660 --> 00:46:03,660
don't know where to start explaining
this here is a TV show that was made in
353
00:46:03,660 --> 00:46:10,920
the early 1980s and this covers
something that is very hard to explain
354
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:20,359
if you are not familiar with this type
of performance now you could see on the
355
00:46:20,359 --> 00:46:27,220
cover of this DVD there are two ladies
two elderly ladies can you see them
356
00:46:27,220 --> 00:46:36,749
their names are Dame Hilda Brackett and
doctor evadne hinge they are known as
357
00:46:36,749 --> 00:46:43,789
hinge and bracket and they were very
very popular during the 1970s and 1980s
358
00:46:43,789 --> 00:46:50,720
they appeared a lot on British
television now the thing to note about
359
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:56,720
these two ladies is that they are not
actually ladies they are actually men
360
00:46:56,720 --> 00:47:04,799
pretending to be ladies something that
is very unique to British humour so when
361
00:47:04,799 --> 00:47:09,539
we talk about British humour
quite often more often than not it
362
00:47:09,539 --> 00:47:16,759
involves men dressing up as ladies and
pretending to be ladies so there it is a
363
00:47:16,759 --> 00:47:22,739
TV show that I used to watch and I still
do in fact it's very funny very humorous
364
00:47:22,739 --> 00:47:28,89
and very entertaining as well dear
ladies is something I used to watch
365
00:47:28,89 --> 00:47:36,140
starring hinge and bracket when a man
dresses up as a woman for entertainment
366
00:47:36,140 --> 00:47:45,930
we call it drag drag so when you do a
drag performance you are a man dressing
367
00:47:45,930 --> 00:47:52,799
up as a woman and performing as a woman
this is very unique to British humour
368
00:47:52,799 --> 00:47:57,750
when you think of British humour you
always think of
369
00:47:57,750 --> 00:48:05,850
men dressed as women so there we go
plenty to keep you occupied on a Sunday
370
00:48:05,850 --> 00:48:12,870
afternoon I think back to the live chat

375
00:48:41,730 --> 00:48:45,110
don't think it's made anymore
but it did have quite a few quite a few
376
00:48:45,110 --> 00:48:53,700
seasons I think four or five seasons
skins talking and looking at the the way
377
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:58,650
that teenagers live their lives yes I
think so yes very good
378
00:48:58,650 --> 00:49:07,770
skins Thank You Jean Santos for your
message I have watched Sherlock Holmes
379
00:49:07,770 --> 00:49:13,340
says Eliana yes
Sherlock Holmes made into more than one
380
00:49:13,340 --> 00:49:18,380
TV program there have been many versions
of Sherlock Holmes made over the years
381
00:49:18,380 --> 00:49:26,240
including many movies and also on
television Sherlock Holmes has been
382
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:33,260
portrayed one of my favorite actors to
play Sherlock Holmes is a man called
383
00:49:33,260 --> 00:49:41,970
Jeremy Brett during the 1980s he played
Sherlock Holmes on television in the UK
384
00:49:41,970 --> 00:49:49,530
and he was brilliant I think he was the
best actor ever the best portrayal ever
385
00:49:49,530 --> 00:49:52,340
of Sherlock Holmes was by an actor
called
386
00:49:52,340 --> 00:50:01,950
Jeremy Brett many years ago mr. Duncan I

you you are the most important thing to
me so I like saying hello to you Jay
397
00:51:37,250 --> 00:51:46,920
Pierre says what about Monty Python yeah
Monty Python absolutely brilliant from
398
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:53,670
the 1970s and early 1980s
yes Monty Python they were on television
399
00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:58,769
and of course they made a few movies as
well including Monty Python and the Holy
400
00:51:58,769 --> 00:52:05,609
Grail Monty Python's the life of Brian
very controversial because it deals with
401
00:52:05,609 --> 00:52:10,160
religion and of course as I said they
appeared on television here in the UK
402
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:20,779
during the 1970s their style of humor is
very surreal it's very unusual very odd
403
00:52:20,779 --> 00:52:28,769
have you ever seen a movie called Alfie
with an actor called Jude Law asks Pedro
404
00:52:28,769 --> 00:52:35,519
yes the original version of that
particular movie starred Michael Caine
405
00:52:35,519 --> 00:52:42,539
so actually Alfie with Jude Law was
actually a remake of the original movie
406
00:52:42,539 --> 00:52:50,910
which starred Michael Caine hello my
name's Michael Caine do you know who
407
00:52:50,910 --> 00:52:57,900
Michael Caine is a very famous actor
Yuliya says hello mr. Duncan I am from
408
00:52:57,900 --> 00:53:02,700
Ukraine I am very glad to be here well
I'm glad you are here as well because
409
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:06,440
without you
I would be talking to nobody and that's
410
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:14,519
very strange let's have a look now at
one of my full English lessons and then
411
00:53:14,519 --> 00:53:21,710
after three o'clock we are going to go
onto Google I am going to Google myself
412
00:53:21,710 --> 00:53:28,740
it sounds very rude isn't it so I will
be googling myself live on YouTube in
413
00:53:28,740 --> 00:53:33,630
around about seven or eight minutes time
but right now we are going to have a
414
00:53:33,630 --> 00:53:53,849
look at an excerpt from one of my full
English lessons sometimes after eating a
415
00:53:53,849 --> 00:53:59,599
meal you might find that your stomach
starts to feel uncomfortable
416
00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:06,380
you might feel pain or get an ache
perhaps the food you ate does not agree
417
00:54:06,380 --> 00:54:10,769
with you
this phrase expresses the fact that
418
00:54:10,769 --> 00:54:17,420
perhaps you are sensitive to certain
types of food I rarely eat spicy food as
419
00:54:17,420 --> 00:54:26,819
it does not agree with me I never eat
onions as they don't agree with me in
420
00:54:26,819 --> 00:54:32,19
other words that particular type of food
will upset your stomach if you eat it an
421
00:54:32,19 --> 00:54:40,39
upset stomach is a bad stomach which can
lead to you spending a long time on the
422
00:54:40,39 --> 00:54:43,819
toilet
423
00:54:51,590 --> 00:54:57,890
here's a funny word can you see it it
looks like the word fishing but spelt
424
00:54:57,890 --> 00:55:05,840
differently what the heck is that all
about well I will tell you this word is
425
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:11,780
indeed pronounced as fishing but as you
can see it is spelt with a pH at the
426
00:55:11,780 --> 00:55:17,290
beginning this particular fishing means
to attempt to obtain someone's personal
427
00:55:17,290 --> 00:55:23,410
details such as their address or bank
details by pretending to represent a
428
00:55:23,410 --> 00:55:28,350
large well-known company this is
normally done in the form of an email
429
00:55:28,350 --> 00:55:34,850
for example you might receive an email
from someone saying that they are from a
430
00:55:34,850 --> 00:55:40,240
big bank they tell you that your account
has been changed so you must send them
431
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:46,550
your personal details such as your
credit card details or password so the
432
00:55:46,550 --> 00:55:52,450
account can be reset of course the
person writing is not from the bank they
433
00:55:52,450 --> 00:55:58,450
are just trying to get your personal
details they are fishing they are trying
434
00:55:58,450 --> 00:56:04,180
to get your personal information from
you through deception the person doing
435
00:56:04,180 --> 00:56:10,330
the deceiving is called a Fisher so the
next time you receive an email from
436
00:56:10,330 --> 00:56:16,120
someone saying that they are from your
bank or a large company or the orphan of
437
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:22,240
a millionaire be very careful as there
is a chance that someone is fishing for
438
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:29,770
your personal details and your money
439
00:56:52,810 --> 00:56:59,740
I love idioms don't you there are many
expressions around that relate to our
440
00:56:59,740 --> 00:57:03,880
own existence
there can be no doubt that life has its
441
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:13,20
ups and downs there are sunny days and
dark days happy times and sad times we
442
00:57:13,20 --> 00:57:19,690
must take the rough with the smooth
there will always be unexpected things
443
00:57:19,690 --> 00:57:25,140
that come along to try and throw us off
the path to happiness but we must take
444
00:57:25,140 --> 00:57:31,870
it on the chin we have to grin and bear
it
445
00:57:31,870 --> 00:57:39,880
we must put on a grey face good fortune
can be described as an upturn when
446
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,310
things start to get better we can say
that there is light on the horizon a
447
00:57:43,310 --> 00:57:50,680
glimmer of hope means that there is
light at the end of the tunnel things
448
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:56,890
are getting better as I said many years
ago in one of my earlier lessons without
449
00:57:56,890 --> 00:58:06,790
sadness we would never really know what
it is like to be truly happy it's time
450
00:58:06,790 --> 00:58:12,850
to take a look at another buzzword a
buzzword is a phrase or sentence that is
451
00:58:12,850 --> 00:58:15,20
used a lot during a certain period of
time
452
00:58:15,20 --> 00:58:22,500
today's buzzword is the sentence lessons
must be learnt this phrase seems to be
453
00:58:22,500 --> 00:58:28,540
used a lot these days
it is normally spoken after a terrible
454
00:58:28,540 --> 00:58:33,270
event has taken place when more could
have been done to prevent or ease the
455
00:58:33,270 --> 00:58:39,0
effect of something bad occurring we
often state that there are lessons to be
456
00:58:39,0 --> 00:58:45,390
learned we normally hear those who are
in charge or who have authority saying
457
00:58:45,390 --> 00:58:52,500
this some might say that by using this
sentence a person is admitting guilt or
458
00:58:52,500 --> 00:59:00,850
is taking the blame for something
without facing the consequences if not
459
00:59:00,850 --> 00:59:05,800
enough was done to prevent a bad or
tragic thing happening
460
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:12,700
we will often state that there are
lessons to be learned all lessons must
461
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:28,200
be learned ten ways to say one thing in
English in English there are many ways
462
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:35,590
to say one thing a sentence can consist
of many different words to express what
463
00:59:35,590 --> 00:59:42,730
is in essence exactly the same it is
possible to use different words to say
464
00:59:42,730 --> 00:59:49,380
the same thing there are various ways of
expressing one thing there is more than
465
00:59:49,380 --> 00:59:55,750
one way to say one thing to say one
thing in English can be done by using
466
00:59:55,750 --> 01:00:01,200
many different combinations of words the
words are different however the meaning
467
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:08,70
remains the same you don't have to use
the same words all the time to state one
468
01:00:08,70 --> 01:00:16,200
particular thing syntax does not confine
those who know how to use it a thousand
469
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:35,580
words can say one thing but not always
together do you know someone who is a
470
01:00:35,580 --> 01:00:43,810
nosey Parker perhaps you yourself can
sometimes be a little nosy a nosy person
471
01:00:43,810 --> 01:00:49,350
is someone who is interested in other
people's personal affairs you are over
472
01:00:49,350 --> 01:00:55,320
inquisitive and feel the need to delve
into others lives perhaps you like
473
01:00:55,320 --> 01:01:02,10
watching what your neighbors are up to a
nosy person might be described as having
474
01:01:02,10 --> 01:01:13,600
been prying spying or snooping on others
to pry or snoop is to be nosy for some
475
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:18,270
reason we seem very interested in the
lives of those in the public eye
476
01:01:18,270 --> 01:01:25,350
the lives of the rich and famous seems
so glamorous and perfect so the
477
01:01:25,350 --> 01:01:29,460
possibility of finding out what really
goes on in their day-to-day lives is
478
01:01:29,460 --> 01:01:37,290
very seductive with the wide range of
glossy magazines and reality TV shows
479
01:01:37,290 --> 01:01:43,260
now available to view featuring
celebrities of all shapes and sizes
480
01:01:43,260 --> 01:01:51,480
many of us have without realizing it
become nosey Parker's the phrase nosy
481
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:59,530
Parker was first used on a postcard that
depicted a person spying on people from
482
01:01:59,530 --> 01:02:19,20
behind a bush badoo badoo badoo so there
it was an excerpt from one of my full

please let me know and I will reveal the
503
01:04:40,80 --> 01:04:48,760
answers towards the end of today's live
stream and mystery idioms a lot of
504
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:55,510
people seem to like the mystery idioms
now I'm often asked to show them can I
505
01:04:55,510 --> 01:04:58,290
just apologize once again for not
showing up last week I had some things
506
01:04:58,290 --> 01:05:03,210
that occurred that I had to deal with
last week some things that I had to sort
507
01:05:03,210 --> 01:05:09,760
out last week so I do apologize for that
we were talking about TV programs
508
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:16,160
because today they are going to reveal
the new Doctor Who who will be the new
509
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:25,10
Doctor Who and an even bigger question
will it be a lady ooh a lady Time Lord
510
01:05:25,10 --> 01:05:34,110
so a lot of people seem to think that
the new Doctor Who will be a woman so we
511
01:05:34,110 --> 01:05:39,480
will wait and see because today it is
going to be announced right after the
512
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:45,750
final of Wimbledon because the men are
playing today in the final
513
01:05:45,750 --> 01:05:52,360
and right after that we will find out
who will be the new Doctor Who Wow
514
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:57,170
unless of course you never watch Doctor
Who in which case that means nothing to
515
01:05:57,170 --> 01:06:05,610
you whatsoever we were talking about
British TV shows Estella says mr. Duncan
516
01:06:05,610 --> 01:06:11,480
I saw dr. house is that a British
program no it is not it is actually made
517
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:19,250
in the u.s. it was it is finished now
dr. house but of course it did star a
518
01:06:19,250 --> 01:06:26,150
British actor pretending to be American
it's very confusing I know
519
01:06:26,150 --> 01:06:35,570
so dr. house was er was a US TV show but
it starred a British actor playing an
520
01:06:35,570 --> 01:06:43,400
American doctor so yes I think I
understand that I don't understand the
521
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:49,770
word Google can you explain it well
Google is the name of the search engine
522
01:06:49,770 --> 01:06:53,90
on the Internet
so when you google something it means
523
01:06:53,90 --> 01:06:59,270
you search for something on the Internet
so Google is the name of the company
524
01:06:59,270 --> 01:07:05,300
that owns the search engine and of
course YouTube is well so the very thing
525
01:07:05,300 --> 01:07:12,990
you are watching now is owned by Google
and of course Google can also be a verb
526
01:07:12,990 --> 01:07:18,200
so you can Google something which is
what I'm going to do right now I have my
527
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:23,480
mobile phone here my little smartphone
so let's have a look shall we let's
528
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:28,120
Google mr. Duncan and see what happens
529
01:07:29,410 --> 01:07:35,940
few people are asking about the tennis
I think it's Roger Federer playing in
530
01:07:35,940 --> 01:07:41,240
the final today a lot of people seem to
think that Federer will win today I've
531
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:47,720
got an email here is this anything to do
with today's program let's have a look
532
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:54,540
Abdul Omer has sent me an email just
before we go to Google Thank You Abdul
533
01:07:54,540 --> 01:08:04,600
for that Abdul Omer has sent me
a photograph eventually it will open oh
534
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:11,110
I see
Abdul has sent a picture of a cup of tea
535
01:08:11,110 --> 01:08:19,670
and he says mr. Duncan you are my cup of
tea oh there it is just to show there it
536
01:08:19,670 --> 01:08:25,150
is
thank you very much okay it's time to
537
01:08:25,150 --> 01:08:33,310
Google myself now so here it is there is
Google there is the search engine of
538
01:08:33,310 --> 01:08:41,630
course it is available on most mobile
devices and computers so now I am going
539
01:08:41,630 --> 01:08:48,490
to enter my name I'm going to put mr.
Duncan into Google and see what happens
540
01:08:48,490 --> 01:08:55,850
who isn't as exciting I'm going to cheat
here because I'm going to say my name so
541
01:08:55,850 --> 01:09:07,270
I'm not going to type it I'm going to
say it mr. Duncan oh okay then that was
542
01:09:07,270 --> 01:09:12,859
quick
very polite isn't Google polite so
543
01:09:12,859 --> 01:09:24,830
Google has come up with well first of
all Google has sent me that as the
544
01:09:24,830 --> 01:09:30,980
search for the search for mr. Duncan on
Google so there it is that is the top
545
01:09:30,980 --> 01:09:37,30
search for me on Google and of course it
is my first ever English lesson lesson
546
01:09:37,30 --> 01:09:46,730
one which has over 11 million views now
so that's what happens when you go onto
547
01:09:46,730 --> 01:09:53,680
google let's have a look what else comes
up we have lots of my video lessons
548
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:59,810
including my first ever full english
lesson there it is can you see it's my
549
01:09:59,810 --> 01:10:07,120
first full english lesson let's have a
look what else comes up many of my
550
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:11,639
English lessons
come up
551
01:10:11,639 --> 01:10:16,960
let's have a look at photographs now
let's have a look what photographs come
552
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:23,710
up when we search for mr. Duncan oh okay
then there it is you can see some of the
553
01:10:23,710 --> 01:10:37,540
search results there I don't think all
of these people are me most of those
554
01:10:37,540 --> 01:10:44,860
photographs are me but for some reason
David Cameron who used to be the prime
555
01:10:44,860 --> 01:10:50,70
minister of this country apparently
David Cameron also comes up on the
556
01:10:50,70 --> 01:10:56,159
search for mr. Duncan I don't know why
and as you can see lots of photographs
557
01:10:56,159 --> 01:11:01,429
from my lessons let's go further down
558
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:11,860
some more lots of photographs taken from
my lessons you can see now quite clearly
559
01:11:11,860 --> 01:11:21,30
that there are lots of English lessons
on the internet made by me you are some
560
01:11:21,30 --> 01:11:33,110
more I hope there aren't any rude
pictures here I'm taking a big risk here
561
01:11:33,110 --> 01:11:38,280
so there are quite a few photographs the
interesting thing about these pictures
562
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:44,770
is that many of them are not actually
posted by me many of these photographs
563
01:11:44,770 --> 01:11:51,639
are actually posted by other people and
that includes people who steal my video
564
01:11:51,639 --> 01:11:56,489
lessons so there are people on YouTube
who actually steal my lessons and then
565
01:11:56,489 --> 01:12:03,760
re-upload them pretending to be me which
isn't very good really I don't like that
566
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:10,440
at all so that's what happens when you
search for yourself on YouTube or should
567
01:12:10,440 --> 01:12:19,840
I say on Google sometimes it's very
confusing because Google owns YouTube so
568
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:24,969
sometimes you can get a little bit
confused so have you ever googled you
569
01:12:24,969 --> 01:12:31,139
yourself have you ever looked for
yourself on Google and did you find
570
01:12:31,139 --> 01:12:38,70
anything interesting when you went on
there another question today do you know
571
01:12:38,70 --> 01:12:43,840
any British TV shows are there any
British TV programs that you have
572
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:52,590
watched in the past are there any and if
you have watched them what were they
573
01:12:53,699 --> 01:13:00,690
it's a Sunday afternoon
it's mr. Duncan live on YouTube
574
01:13:33,579 --> 01:13:41,19
it is live English on a Sunday live to
the world on YouTube thank you to Jean
575
01:13:41,19 --> 01:13:48,489
Santos who says I was watching skins and
I didn't like it a TV show all about the
576
01:13:48,489 --> 01:13:54,99
lives of teenagers
Juan Carlos says mr. Duncan I liked the
577
01:13:54,99 --> 01:14:00,99
series the office very good
recommendation the office a very popular
578
01:14:00,99 --> 01:14:08,989
TV show made many years ago I think it
was made in 2000 2001 and there I have
579
01:14:08,989 --> 01:14:17,260
the DVD this actually is the box set so
this particular box set has all of the
580
01:14:17,260 --> 01:14:23,170
episodes of The Office and of course
later it was made into a TV show in the
581
01:14:23,170 --> 01:14:32,289
States as well so it has been made in
the UK and also in the United States as
582
01:14:32,289 --> 01:14:39,860
well some other programs that I showed
you earlier including this dear ladies
583
01:14:39,860 --> 01:14:45,489
this is one of my all-time favorite TV
programs it is a program a comedy
584
01:14:45,489 --> 01:14:52,690
program so it is funny about two elderly
ladies who live in an English village
585
01:14:52,690 --> 01:14:58,789
but the strange thing is the unusual
thing is that they are both played by
586
01:14:58,789 --> 01:15:06,980
men and the lady
or should I say gentleman on the left
587
01:15:06,980 --> 01:15:13,719
actually lived he used to live in the
place where I was born the same town
588
01:15:13,719 --> 01:15:23,989
Stafford so there they are hinge and
bracket dear ladies can I just say now
589
01:15:23,989 --> 01:15:31,610
this is one of my all-time favorite TV
programs sometimes British humour can
590
01:15:31,610 --> 01:15:37,579
seem very unusual to other people around
the world and one of the things that
591
01:15:37,579 --> 01:15:44,929
British humour involves is men
pretending to be ladies right now there
592
01:15:44,929 --> 01:15:47,470
is a tea
show on the BBC called mrs. Brown's boys
593
01:15:47,470 --> 01:15:57,280
and mrs. Brown is an elderly Irish lady
who is a man it's actually a man
594
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:03,680
pretending to be a woman so this is
something that does occur quite often in
595
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:10,880
British humour British humour some
people find the British humour very odd
596
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:21,770
very unusual maybe you do mr. Duncan
I've watched every episode of mind your
597
01:16:21,770 --> 01:16:31,520
language mind your language I have
watched every episode have you ever seen
598
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:39,10
the fourth season now there were three
seasons made of mind your language and
599
01:16:39,10 --> 01:16:47,470
then later on there was a fourth season
but the fourth season has vanished it
600
01:16:47,470 --> 01:16:55,420
has disappeared no one knows where it is
so on the DVD there are three seasons
601
01:16:55,420 --> 01:17:03,830
but the fourth one has vanished it was
made I think it was made in 1986 but no
602
01:17:03,830 --> 01:17:11,780
one knows where that particular season
is it vanished without trace Estella
603
01:17:11,780 --> 01:17:18,460
said yes I've watched mind your language
do you feel like mr. Brown at times mr.
604
01:17:18,460 --> 01:17:26,110
Brown was the teacher in mind your
language yes I suppose I may have been
605
01:17:26,110 --> 01:17:31,820
influenced by mr. Brown because I used
to watch mind your language when I was
606
01:17:31,820 --> 01:17:36,800
very young so perhaps mind your language
has influenced me just a little bit
607
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:45,130
maybe maybe mr. Duncan I like to watch
Sherlock Holmes with Benedict
608
01:17:45,130 --> 01:17:52,930
Cumberbatch
hello I am Benedict Cumberbatch
609
01:17:53,390 --> 01:18:02,610
Jamelia says I love British sitcoms
sitcom shall I write that down for you
610
01:18:02,610 --> 01:18:09,940
I'm going to write that down on a piece
of paper and then show it to you because
611
01:18:09,940 --> 01:18:16,810
that's why I am here
sitcom sitcom we often use this in
612
01:18:16,810 --> 01:18:25,440
British English to mean a comedy program
sitcom sitcom means situation comedy so
613
01:18:25,440 --> 01:18:36,140
comedy that involves everyday situations
and that's why we call it sitcom sitcom
614
01:18:36,140 --> 01:18:41,400
so mind your language is a British
sitcom
615
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:50,710
Jamelia says I love British sitcoms such
as Monty Python my family oh yes my
616
01:18:50,710 --> 01:18:56,740
family have you ever seen that that was
made many years ago it used to be one of
617
01:18:56,740 --> 01:19:05,210
the most popular TV shows on BBC many
many years ago also Gavin and Stacey
618
01:19:05,210 --> 01:19:17,770
which stars James Corden I don't like
James Corden I can't stand him really
619
01:19:17,770 --> 01:19:19,70
can't
620
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:32,310

but I know the men's name it's Gareth
623
01:19:41,220 --> 01:19:51,90
Malone and he made people sing for the

624
01:19:51,90 --> 01:19:58,400

was called the choir I might be wrong

Ricardo Ricardo Almeida hello Ricardo
640
01:21:37,690 --> 01:21:43,110
and welcome to my live chat on a Sunday
afternoon I am live now on YouTube it is
641
01:21:43,110 --> 01:21:49,410
20 minutes past three o'clock don't
forget we have our mystery idioms for
642
01:21:49,410 --> 01:21:58,780
you to look at there are today's mystery
idioms that is the first one what is it
643
01:21:58,780 --> 01:22:04,570
a well-known phrase in English and there
is the second one I think this one is
644
01:22:04,570 --> 01:22:11,860
very easy who knows it might not be make
maybe you find it very difficult but to
645
01:22:11,860 --> 01:22:18,210
me it's easy let's just say this
particular adieu idiom is something you
646
01:22:18,210 --> 01:22:24,340
do very often
so this idiom is something you do very
647
01:22:24,340 --> 01:22:36,219
often and this one is something that can
happen from time to time so there they
648
01:22:36,219 --> 01:22:42,250
are today's mystery idioms but the
question is what do they mean what are
649
01:22:42,250 --> 01:22:49,849
they what are today's mystery idioms I
have a new neighbor coming soon because
650
01:22:49,849 --> 01:22:52,330
the person living next door to me is
selling their house at the moment
651
01:22:52,330 --> 01:22:59,380
so I think in the near future I am going
to get a new neighbor will they be
652
01:22:59,380 --> 01:23:08,750
prepared to live next door to mr. Duncan
I wonder they will look out of their
653
01:23:08,750 --> 01:23:13,449
window and they will see me standing in
my garden talking to myself into a
654
01:23:13,449 --> 01:23:22,820
camera they will probably think what
have I done this area is crazy it is my
655
01:23:22,820 --> 01:23:26,500
first time here in your channel I really
like this very useful Thank You jeans
656
01:23:26,500 --> 01:23:36,420
sent us once again for saying hello very
kind of you to join in gavin yang says
657
01:23:36,420 --> 01:23:45,980
my favorite TV show is the it crowd the
IT Crowd yeah I like that one as well it
658
01:23:45,980 --> 01:23:56,659
is a situation comedy set in a large
company and the stories revolve around
659
01:23:56,659 --> 01:24:04,849
the people who work in the IT department
very funny yes the IT Crowd or the it
660
01:24:04,849 --> 01:24:12,420
crowd very nice yes that is a British TV
show mr. Duncan I listened to everyone
661
01:24:12,420 --> 01:24:18,70
who speaks English clearly and slowly I
understand what he says but if he speaks
662
01:24:18,70 --> 01:24:25,150
quickly I don't that is a common problem
with those who are unfamiliar with
663
01:24:25,150 --> 01:24:31,420
different types of accent and different
types of speed of speech so yes it is
664
01:24:31,420 --> 01:24:37,729
something that you Jen
get used to overtime so at first it may
665
01:24:37,729 --> 01:24:45,530
seem very difficult but as time goes by
as you become more familiar with English
666
01:24:45,530 --> 01:24:51,619
you will begin to hear you will begin to
understand what people are saying even
667
01:24:51,619 --> 01:24:59,989
when they are talking quickly we have
someone watching in Italy hello a big

googled myself have you ever googled
681
01:26:25,959 --> 01:26:31,380
yourself have you ever put your name or
the place that you live in have you ever
682
01:26:31,380 --> 01:26:39,860
entered it into the Google search engine
of course Google is the company that
683
01:26:39,860 --> 01:26:46,669
owns the largest search engine in the
world it's true and of course Google
684
01:26:46,669 --> 01:26:50,110
also
own YouTube which is where you are
685
01:26:50,110 --> 01:26:58,520
watching me now mr. Duncan is your
speaking speed average in the UK it's
686
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:03,950
pretty much average yes most people in
their day-to-day lives will speak at
687
01:27:03,950 --> 01:27:15,730
this speed pretty much pretty much
normally people will speak at a an
688
01:27:15,730 --> 01:27:20,930
average pace so nothing too quick
nothing too slow because you want people
689
01:27:20,930 --> 01:27:25,670
to understand what you are saying of
course maybe when you get excited if an
690
01:27:25,670 --> 01:27:30,430
English person gets excited maybe their
speech will speed up maybe they will
691
01:27:30,430 --> 01:27:37,120
actually speak faster but for most of
the time people speak it at an average
692
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:46,630
pace a bit like me really I googled my
name and it shows 69 thousand results
693
01:27:46,630 --> 01:27:52,670
says Marcio Wow
so there are lots of people with your
694
01:27:52,670 --> 01:28:05,720
name or you are very famous so it's one
of those Olga says mr. Duncan your
695
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:14,310
mystery idioms is the first one bind the
hand and the foot and is the second one
696
01:28:14,310 --> 01:28:18,450
penny from heaven let's have a look
shall we
697
01:28:18,450 --> 01:28:27,530
no you are wrong with both of them at
the moment so there they are today's
698
01:28:27,530 --> 01:28:33,830
mystery idioms there is the first one
and there is the second one I thought
699
01:28:33,830 --> 01:28:42,740
this one was quite easy just say what
you see I will give you the answers to
700
01:28:42,740 --> 01:28:49,580
the mystery idioms later on ray kikuna
asks mr. Duncan do you like the British
701
01:28:49,580 --> 01:28:57,40
sitcom Blackadder yes I do I really do
now that particular program was made way
702
01:28:57,40 --> 01:29:05,900
back in the 1980s
a very old TV show Black Adder starring
703
01:29:05,900 --> 01:29:14,640
Rowan Atkinson so Rowan Atkinson also
played mr. bone hello my name is mr. boo
704
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:23,580
oh we are getting some guesses now
coming through on the mystery idiom
705
01:29:23,580 --> 01:29:29,550
thank you very much for that loan ah
thank you very much for your guess hyung
706
01:29:29,550 --> 01:29:41,540
Dean says pronounced by English English
or English America which is easier I
707
01:29:41,540 --> 01:29:45,320
don't know really what you mean there
I'm not sure what your question is are
708
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:51,900
you saying is it easy is it easier to
pronounce things with British English or
709
01:29:51,900 --> 01:29:56,480
is it easier to pronounce things with
American English it really depends it
710
01:29:56,480 --> 01:30:01,250
really depends there aren't any rules
there aren't any laws that say you must
711
01:30:01,250 --> 01:30:07,310
speak one type of English so some people
prefer American English whilst others
712
01:30:07,310 --> 01:30:13,830
prefer British English but really I
think they are both is difficult because
713
01:30:13,830 --> 01:30:18,140
you have to learn them so anything you
have to learn is difficult at the
714
01:30:18,140 --> 01:30:29,520
beginning interesting coincidence mr.
Duncan I've watched bladder bladder not
715
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:36,600
bladder Black Adder I watched Black
Adder for the first time one week ago Oh
716
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:44,300
Olga what a coincidence
how strange David Zapata says have you
717
01:30:44,300 --> 01:30:51,800
ever watched Dragons Den oh yes that's a
very interesting TV show that is where
718
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:59,240
people try to put their ideas forward to
a panel of business people so maybe
719
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:07,920
there are people in the panel who can
offer money to help this particular
720
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:13,70
person start their business or to
produce the product that they have
721
01:31:13,70 --> 01:31:17,179
invented
yes I think so Dragon's Den a very
722
01:31:17,179 --> 01:31:26,0
interesting TV show hello mr. Duncan
he's the first one tied tie the knot or
723
01:31:26,0 --> 01:31:35,480
one tied knot and the second one is one
side of the coin Thank You Nishant let's
724
01:31:35,480 --> 01:31:43,250
have a look they are not the ones that
you said no so there is the second one
725
01:31:43,250 --> 01:31:52,760
and there is the first one but what are
they they are today's mystery idioms but
726
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:55,449

mr. Ben here in Brazil on a theater
734
01:33:18,70 --> 01:33:28,640
watching Roberto Carlos a Brazilian
singer mr. Ben I don't know who mr. Ben
735
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:36,920
is there was a cartoon in the 1970s
called mr. Ben and that was a man who
736
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:42,920
used to go into a clothes shop and he
used to put a uniform on and then he
737
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:48,40
would go out and have an adventure mr.
Ben I'm sure there are episodes of that
738
01:33:48,40 --> 01:33:54,770
on YouTube I'm pretty sure of it and it
was a kids TV show so it was aimed at
739
01:33:54,770 --> 01:33:59,780
children

01:34:29,630 --> 01:34:32,500
on holiday I didn't like that one I
didn't think it was this funny but I did

very funny when he was he was having to

somewhere so the first one was better
mr. bean the movie was better but I

for joining me today you are very very
751
01:35:08,210 --> 01:35:16,980
kind I'm going to show you an excerpt
from one of my full English lessons now
752
01:35:16,980 --> 01:35:24,870
this is taken from full English number
19 looking at many many different
753
01:35:24,870 --> 01:35:35,880
subjects here is a good example of an
English word that is often used
754
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:42,350
incorrectly the word paraphrase is one
that is often misused it is on occasion
755
01:35:42,350 --> 01:35:48,20
placed within a sentence by mistake to
paraphrase something means to change the
756
01:35:48,20 --> 01:35:54,110
wording of a sentence so as to make it
clearer to emphasize the meaning of
757
01:35:54,110 --> 01:36:01,310
something might require you to
paraphrase you reword a sentence so as
758
01:36:01,310 --> 01:36:07,40
to make it appear more clear teachers
often paraphrase sentences so as to
759
01:36:07,40 --> 01:36:13,190
allow their students to recognize the
important points of a subject to express
760
01:36:13,190 --> 01:36:19,130
something in as clear a way as possible
might require some paraphrasing to take
761
01:36:19,130 --> 01:36:26,450
place even here in my English lessons
I often paraphrase so as to ensure that
762
01:36:26,450 --> 01:36:34,920
my explanations come across as clearly
as they can many people believe that to
763
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:42,260
paraphrase is to shorten a sentence this
is not true to emphasize and clarify a
764
01:36:42,260 --> 01:36:48,380
sentence is to paraphrase the word
originates from the Greek word para
765
01:36:48,380 --> 01:37:14,609
which means modification and phrasing we
means tell can you see what I'm doing
766
01:37:14,609 --> 01:37:20,550
here I'm moving these empty plastic
bottles to the recycling box at the back
767
01:37:20,550 --> 01:37:23,89
of my house
they will then be collected by the local
768
01:37:23,89 --> 01:37:28,519
recycling plant and taken to a place
where they will be melted down and
769
01:37:28,519 --> 01:37:35,760
reused to recycle is the process of
reusing something over and over these
770
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:40,219
days recycling is carried out all around
the world almost anything can be
771
01:37:40,219 --> 01:37:44,59
recycled
the most commonly recycled materials
772
01:37:44,59 --> 01:37:52,769
include water paper and plastic many
electrical devices can now be recycled
773
01:37:52,769 --> 01:37:59,209
to most metallic objects are also
recyclable from discarded cans right up
774
01:37:59,209 --> 01:38:06,489
to disused cars many things these days
can be recycled we often hear the word
775
01:38:06,489 --> 01:38:12,510
sustainable used when discussing
recycling this word refers to the action
776
01:38:12,510 --> 01:38:17,579
of maintaining a balance between the use
and replacement of materials needed for
777
01:38:17,579 --> 01:38:23,519
the manufacturing of everyday items
sustainable forests and sustainable
778
01:38:23,519 --> 01:38:29,849
oceans being the two most common places
where things such as wood gas and oil
779
01:38:29,849 --> 01:38:32,539
are found
780
01:38:45,429 --> 01:38:52,640
it's time to take a look at another
buzzword a buzzword is a word or phrase
781
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:59,630
that is used during a certain period or
is generally popular today's buzz word
782
01:38:59,630 --> 01:39:08,719
is prank the word prank can be used as
both a noun and verb a practical joke or
783
01:39:08,719 --> 01:39:15,560
trick played on someone is a prank to do
something mischievous to someone so as
784
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:22,360
to get a reaction from them is prank you
play a prank on someone or you prank
785
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:29,810
someone you create a fictitious or fake
situation for someone to deal with such
786
01:39:29,810 --> 01:39:37,330
as an angry phone call this is a prank
another example is you might arrange for
787
01:39:37,330 --> 01:39:41,780
a friend
to be arrested by someone pretending to
788
01:39:41,780 --> 01:39:45,159
be a police officer to make someone
believe that something bad is happening
789
01:39:45,159 --> 01:39:53,440
when it isn't is to prank someone the
prank is the trick or joke to prank
790
01:39:53,440 --> 01:40:00,710
someone is the action of playing a prank
pranks are quite amusing for those
791
01:40:00,710 --> 01:40:06,400
watching from afar but not so for the
victim of the prank we can use the
792
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:16,969
phrase hoax to mean prank you hoax
someone it's a hoax believe it or not
793
01:40:16,969 --> 01:40:23,880
the word prank has been in use for over
400 years
794
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:34,570
how are you enjoying today's full
English is it okay I hope so they say
795
01:40:34,570 --> 01:40:38,489
that English can be a confusing language
to learn with many clauses and rules to
796
01:40:38,489 --> 01:40:44,530
remember a good example being the
differences between the words less and
797
01:40:44,530 --> 01:40:49,960
fewer in standard English you should
only use fewer with things that are
798
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:55,469
countable and less with things that are
uncountable in their general use the
799
01:40:55,469 --> 01:41:00,270
words less and fewer refer to having a
smaller amount or not so much of
800
01:41:00,270 --> 01:41:06,389
something so less is used with
uncountable things there sugar less
801
01:41:06,389 --> 01:41:15,760
water less light less money less time
whereas fewer is used with countable
802
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:24,909
things fewer cats fewer people fewer
words fewer days we often use less and
803
01:41:24,909 --> 01:41:30,790
less in a sentence to show a decrease or
steady fall it is worth remembering that
804
01:41:30,790 --> 01:41:34,469
when numbers are being discussed the
word less is used to show that one
805
01:41:34,469 --> 01:41:42,969
number is smaller than the other less
than three less than ten the confusion
806
01:41:42,969 --> 01:41:49,70
between less and a few is a common one
even among native English speakers
807
01:41:53,300 --> 01:42:11,30
oh I'm just doing my neck exercises this
is something I like to do from time to
808
01:42:11,30 --> 01:42:19,800
time to to get my neck to stay supple so
I can I can move around easily because
809
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:24,139
sometimes especially when I wake up at
the morning I get I get neck ache I get
810
01:42:24,139 --> 01:42:30,230
an ache in my neck so that's what I'm
doing I'm just doing my neck exercises
811
01:42:30,230 --> 01:42:37,829

yeah the big question today who will be
the new Doctor Who do you watch Doctor
819
01:43:20,849 --> 01:43:27,960
Who have you ever watched it Doctor Who
a very popular TV show made here in the
820
01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:34,219
UK and today they are going to reveal
the new Doctor Who because the current
821
01:43:34,219 --> 01:43:44,989
actor is leaving the show so there will
be a new Doctor Who but who will it be
822
01:43:45,559 --> 01:43:58,150
we are the Daleks we will exterminate
mr. Duncan sorry about that
823
01:43:58,150 --> 01:44:05,420
there is a DVD of one of the very early
Doctor Who episodes this particular wand
824
01:44:05,420 --> 01:44:11,179
in my hand
was made in 1964 so this episode of
825
01:44:11,179 --> 01:44:18,510
Doctor Who is older than me I know there
aren't many things that are older than
826
01:44:18,510 --> 01:44:25,949
mr. Duncan but this is older than me
this episode of Doctor Who today we are
827
01:44:25,949 --> 01:44:32,760
going to find out who the new actor will
be the new actor playing Doctor Who in
828
01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:39,719
fact they are supposed to be revealing
it around about now so I will have a
829
01:44:39,719 --> 01:44:47,269
look now just to see have they named the
new Doctor Who yet no not yet we are
830
01:44:47,269 --> 01:44:55,800
still waiting I have a feeling that my
livestream will be finished before they
831
01:44:55,800 --> 01:45:02,639
announce who the new doctor who will be
at the moment the BBC is showing tennis
832
01:45:02,639 --> 01:45:08,300
live tennis from Wimbledon and then
afterwards they are going to tell
833
01:45:08,300 --> 01:45:14,269
everyone who the new doctor who will be
do you watch it do you watch Doctor Who
834
01:45:14,269 --> 01:45:20,849
I used to watch it a lot when I was a
kid and it used to scare me so much it
835
01:45:20,849 --> 01:45:29,670
really did put the willies up me they
did definitely so who will the new
836
01:45:29,670 --> 01:45:35,150
Doctor Who be and still they are not
telling us they really want to keep us
837
01:45:35,150 --> 01:45:41,880
in suspense I think so
I will check back to see if they have
838
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:47,59
announced the new Doctor Who but they
haven't at the moment please give some
839
01:45:47,59 --> 01:45:56,849
examples of until and till well to be
honest until and till mean the same
840
01:45:56,849 --> 01:46:02,389
thing so when we say until tomorrow or
till tomorrow so till is an abbreviation
841
01:46:02,389 --> 01:46:13,309
of until I mr. Duncan I'm planning my
next vacation in 2018 and until then I
842
01:46:13,309 --> 01:46:19,590

what is the name of the song you use in
855
01:47:38,300 --> 01:47:45,80
your fault English lessons I've searched
Google but I can't find it I find the
856
01:47:45,80 --> 01:47:51,870
music you use is very great the reason
why you can't find the music is because
857
01:47:51,870 --> 01:47:58,500
it is not available commercially you
have to buy it through a special company
858
01:47:58,500 --> 01:48:04,830
and of course you have to also buy a
special license which allows you to use
859
01:48:04,830 --> 01:48:11,90
it so that particular type of music the
music that I use in my lessons and in
860
01:48:11,90 --> 01:48:19,10
many of my videos are I buy especially
for my video lessons and also I have to
861
01:48:19,10 --> 01:48:26,640
pay some extra money as well so I can
use the music I have to pay a license as
862
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:33,930
well I have to pay for the license so I
can use it let's have a look at a flash

01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:37,160
have a chance to learn English with me
and of course if I did want to one
892

have a sonic screwdriver or a TARDIS I
895
01:53:01,710 --> 01:53:05,180
don't have either of those things so at
no I don't think I'm going to be the new
896
01:53:05,180 --> 01:53:10,400
Doctor Who somehow a lot of people seem
to think the new Doctor Who will be a
897
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:17,270
lady
a female Doctor Who or maybe maybe not

word crash room crash room I'm not sure
I've never heard of crash room
906
01:54:15,350 --> 01:54:21,510

907
01:54:21,510 --> 01:54:25,949
into each other I
not sure crash room I've heard of

thank you very much for that I am going
911
01:54:54,199 --> 01:55:01,619
in a moment but before I leave you let's
have a look at today's flash not flash
912
01:55:01,619 --> 01:55:07,650
they are today's mystery idioms I'm just
getting so excited because because
913
01:55:07,650 --> 01:55:14,960
they're going to announce the new Doctor
Who I can hardly contain myself
914
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:23,969
so here we go today's mystery idioms I
am now going to give you the answers so
915
01:55:23,969 --> 01:55:34,280
the first one it looks very interesting
but what is it what is the flash mystery
916
01:55:34,280 --> 01:55:43,219
idiom to get caught in red tape is the
first mystery idiom to get caught in red
917
01:55:43,219 --> 01:55:49,389
tape the meaning is to be prevented from
doing something due to complex rules and
918
01:55:49,389 --> 01:55:58,830
regulations so to get caught in red tape
means to be prevented from doing
919
01:55:58,830 --> 01:56:08,960
something due to complex rules and
regulations and it does happen a lot and
920
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:15,159
the second mystery idiom what is the
second mystery idiom I hear you ask I
921
01:56:15,159 --> 01:56:22,30
said that it's something that we do
quite often something that we all do
922
01:56:22,30 --> 01:56:33,560
often sometimes twice a day sometimes
three times sometimes 20 times a day
923
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:42,190
the second mystery idiom is spend a
penny yes
924
01:56:42,190 --> 01:56:49,210
spend a penny that is today's second
mystery idiom and the meaning is to
925
01:56:49,210 --> 01:56:56,780
urinate all go to the toilet for a pee
pee or a wee-wee
926
01:56:56,780 --> 01:57:05,349
is to spend a penny so we can use it as
an idiom for going for a wee-wee you can
927
01:57:05,349 --> 01:57:18,639
spend a penny I must go I need to spend
a penny so there they were today's
928
01:57:18,639 --> 01:57:24,460
mystery idioms but the big question is
who is the new Doctor Who do we have it
929
01:57:24,460 --> 01:57:37,150
do we have a new Doctor Who please
someone tell us no still not this is
930
01:57:37,150 --> 01:57:42,739
unfair this is very unfair we're just
coming up to four o'clock and they
931
01:57:42,739 --> 01:57:48,860
really are keeping us in suspense they
are not telling us who the new Doctor
932
01:57:48,860 --> 01:57:57,710
Who is it's very annoying
oh come on BBC stop it stop playing
933
01:57:57,710 --> 01:58:04,760
games with us please just tell us who
the new Doctor Who is so I can finish my
934
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:11,50
live stream even people on Twitter are
getting angry now they're getting very
935
01:58:11,50 --> 01:58:16,389
angry they are saying come on tell us
who the new Doctor Who is stop keeping
936
01:58:16,389 --> 01:58:27,550
us in suspense just get on with it
oh dear
937
01:58:27,610 --> 01:58:34,940
nope still nothing
people are starting to swear they're
938
01:58:34,940 --> 01:58:37,389
starting to use bad language now on
Twitter and that's the reason why I'm
939
01:58:37,389 --> 01:58:42,10
not going to use a screenshot so I'm not
going to show you what people are saying
940
01:58:42,10 --> 01:58:47,850
now on Twitter because quite a few of
them are swearing they are saying
941
01:58:47,850 --> 01:58:59,700
tell us who the bleep Inge knew doctor
who is please tell us do you they are
942
01:58:59,700 --> 01:59:04,310
really milking this aren't they they are
really milking this it's not fair
943
01:59:04,310 --> 01:59:13,560
okay mr. Duncan I don't know this idiom
spend a penny well now you do if you
944
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:18,20
spend a penny it means you go for a
wee-wee it means you go to the toilet
945
01:59:18,20 --> 01:59:25,950
it is a nice polite way of saying go to
the toilet how long will you be live I
946
01:59:25,950 --> 01:59:31,800
am going in a moment I normally go at
four o'clock but I'm waiting for a few
947
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:37,220
more moments because I want to announce
who the new Doctor Who is who will be
948
01:59:37,220 --> 01:59:44,120
the new Doctor Who I'm sure you can't
wait to find out
949
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:57,230
really I have never seen Doctor Who says
Julie come on they are really making it
950
01:59:57,230 --> 02:00:00,340
very difficult for us
951
02:00:05,10 --> 02:00:12,830
still nothing still no doctor who still
no results they are really being very
952
02:00:12,830 --> 02:00:18,430
mean
so the Wimbledon final is over and Roger
953
02:00:18,430 --> 02:00:33,390
Federer has won are you surprised by
that still nothing
954
02:00:33,390 --> 02:00:39,10
still absolutely nothing I have a
feeling that Twitter has broken because
955
02:00:39,10 --> 02:00:43,480
now Twitter isn't even updating there
aren't any updates now coming through on
956
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:48,590
Twitter so I have the feeling I have a
strange feeling that Twitter has
957
02:00:48,590 --> 02:00:55,240
actually broken because of this I can't
even get the latest updates now I don't
958
02:00:55,240 --> 02:01:03,190
know why please someone tell me who the
new doctor who is so I can go and spend
959
02:01:03,190 --> 02:01:16,730
a penny still they are keeping us
waiting apparently Owen Wilson the
960
02:01:16,730 --> 02:01:25,580
famous actor American actor was it
Wimbledon today I'm sure you're pleased
961
02:01:25,580 --> 02:01:30,800
to hear that so who is the new Doctor
Who come on stop messing around stop
962
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:42,40
keeping us waiting I'm sure the BBC is
doing this on purpose Deary me I don't
963
02:01:42,40 --> 02:01:48,310
know so did you get the mystery idioms
right did you get the right Juan
964
02:01:48,310 --> 02:01:53,750
Francisco asks hello mr. Duncan I'd like
to know why you decided to become an
965
02:01:53,750 --> 02:01:58,300
English teacher that was many many years
ago that was 14 years ago that I decided
966
02:01:58,300 --> 02:02:05,960
to become an English teacher something I
was interested in doing whilst I was
967
02:02:05,960 --> 02:02:11,780
still young sometimes you have to do
things when you are still young or else
968
02:02:11,780 --> 02:02:17,710
you'll never do them and that's the
reason why I decided to try teaching
969
02:02:17,710 --> 02:02:22,260
many years ago
over 14 years since I started teaching I
970
02:02:22,260 --> 02:02:31,120
can't believe it do you make your live
videos everyday asks L go I don't do
971
02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:37,970
this every day if you want me to do it
every day I don't mind I can come here
972
02:02:37,970 --> 02:02:42,150
every day and say hello to you if you
want as long as you watch of course
973
02:02:42,150 --> 02:02:48,40
doppelgänger says I think the new
doctor who is Theresa May it might be
974
02:02:48,40 --> 02:02:55,970
I've always thought that Theresa May
might be a time traveler you might have
975
02:02:55,970 --> 02:03:04,360
something there have they told us yet
who the new doctor who is this is very
976
02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:14,170
unfair they are really really making us
suffer here people on Twitter are
977
02:03:14,170 --> 02:03:20,260
getting very angry they are saying where
is the new bleeping Doctor Who bleeping
978
02:03:20,260 --> 02:03:29,50
I say bleeping because I want to leave
out the swear words are we going to find
979
02:03:29,50 --> 02:03:36,740
out who the new Doctor Who is maybe it's
Daniel Craig that would be funny
980
02:03:36,740 --> 02:03:42,890
wouldn't it so instead of being James
Bond doctor Daniel Craig it could be the
981
02:03:42,890 --> 02:03:51,310
new Doctor Who ah nobody suggested that
maybe I'm right it doesn't look as if
982
02:03:51,310 --> 02:03:57,430
we're going to find out who the new
Doctor Who is before I finish no nobody
983
02:03:57,430 --> 02:04:05,50
is telling us they're keeping it a
secret for as long as they can that's it
984
02:04:05,50 --> 02:04:13,480
I don't know about you but I can't wait
any longer mr. Bergin it's like waiting
985
02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:21,890
for the new Pappa Pappa rimsky do you
remember oh there might but oh I see the
986
02:04:21,890 --> 02:04:26,750
new pope yes it's a bit like waiting for
the new pope they have smoke that comes
987
02:04:26,750 --> 02:04:31,360
out of the chimney so if the smoke is
white it means they haven't decided but
988
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:35,300
if the smoke
is black it means they have chosen the
989
02:04:35,300 --> 02:04:40,70
new pope so at the moment we are waiting
for the new Doctor Who but who will it
990
02:04:40,70 --> 02:04:46,739
be who will be the new Doctor Who I love
your t-shirt mr. Duncan where did you
991
02:04:46,739 --> 02:04:51,469
get this I bought this t-shirt many
years ago I've had this t-shirt for
992
02:04:51,469 --> 02:04:56,350
about ten years and it still looks
brand-new
993
02:04:56,350 --> 02:05:05,420
mr. Duncan when are you normally live I
am live every Sunday from 2:00 p.m. so
994
02:05:05,420 --> 02:05:11,450
you can catch me live on YouTube every
Sunday from 2:00 p.m. UK time that is
995
02:05:11,450 --> 02:05:18,320
when I am live on YouTube I am going in
a minute thanks for your company today I
996
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:26,180
will see you next Sunday and maybe I
will do a live stream during the week as
997
02:05:26,180 --> 02:05:34,680
well maybe I will do a surprise
livestream during the week what are the
998
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:39,350
differences between clever smart and
bright they can all mean the same thing
999
02:05:39,350 --> 02:05:47,90
so a person can be clever they can be
bright and they can be smart it
1000
02:05:47,90 --> 02:05:54,570
basically means the same thing a person
who is very intelligent or has many
1001
02:05:54,570 --> 02:06:09,930
abilities we are going to look one more
time to see who the new Doctor Who is
1002
02:06:09,930 --> 02:06:11,320
come on
1003
02:06:14,789 --> 02:06:21,139
have you found out yet no still not
there are lots of people playing pranks
1004
02:06:21,139 --> 02:06:32,300
now on Twitter they are all saying that
the new doctor who are people who
1005
02:06:32,300 --> 02:06:39,929
clearly will not be dr. who and that
includes me I'm not going to be the new
1006
02:06:39,929 --> 02:06:49,650
Doctor Who okay definitely not this is
very very hard to do isn't it I'm sure
1007
02:06:49,650 --> 02:06:51,320
if you're watching this at the moment
you are thinking mr. Duncan why are you
1008
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:59,909
talking about this most people don't
even know who Doctor Who is many people
1009
02:06:59,909 --> 02:07:04,340
think that the new Doctor Who will be a
woman I'm not sure I think it won't be I
1010
02:07:04,340 --> 02:07:10,530
have a strange feeling that the new
Doctor Who will not be a woman just a
1011
02:07:10,530 --> 02:07:14,639
thought
just a thought Julie G says goodbye mr.
1012
02:07:14,639 --> 02:07:20,239
Duncan I hope Jodie Whittaker is the new
Doctor Who that would be fantastic Jodie
1013
02:07:20,239 --> 02:07:24,349
Whittaker I think she is she's an
actress isn't she a young actress I
1014
02:07:24,349 --> 02:07:33,599
think Judy Dench would be a great Doctor
Who Dame a Judy Dench should be the new
1015
02:07:33,599 --> 02:07:39,260
Doctor Who yes definitely I think so
she should mr. Duncan you should make a
1016
02:07:39,260 --> 02:07:45,599
video about pronunciation I have made a
video all about phonetics and how to
1017
02:07:45,599 --> 02:07:49,70
pronounce English words I have done that
and it is available on my youtube
1018
02:07:49,70 --> 02:07:58,500
channel wow I'm really staying here for
a long time today we are going to check
1019
02:07:58,500 --> 02:08:04,500
one more time to see if they have
announced who the new Doctor Who is if
1020
02:08:04,500 --> 02:08:09,780
they haven't they still haven't this is
crazy
1021
02:08:09,780 --> 02:08:17,420
I think the BBC is trolling us they are
trolling I think the BBC are playing a
1022
02:08:17,420 --> 02:08:23,19
big prank that's what I'm starting to
think now
1023
02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:35,800
Oh Deary me there are no live updates
even there are no live updates they are
1024
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:45,610
still talking about tennis some people
are saying maybe Roger Federer is the
1025
02:08:45,610 --> 02:08:51,900
new Doctor Who now that would be very
interesting yes I think so
1026
02:08:57,370 --> 02:09:02,750
so Roger Federer has win Wimbledon but
we still don't know who the new Doctor
1027
02:09:02,750 --> 02:09:06,40
Who is that's very very very
disappointing I'm going now
1028
02:09:06,40 --> 02:09:11,630
I think I think we've talked enough
about who the new Doctor Who is because
1029
02:09:11,630 --> 02:09:16,610
they're not going to tell us arm it says
mr. Duncan do you like Top Gear
1030
02:09:16,610 --> 02:09:21,950
I don't like Top Gear no I'm not a fan
of Top Gear I'm not really interested in
1031
02:09:21,950 --> 02:09:26,140
cars to be honest mr. Steve likes top
gear but I don't I'm not really
1032
02:09:26,140 --> 02:09:28,500
interested
1033
02:09:29,770 --> 02:09:34,360
Shire blade says what about Chris
Marshall maybe he could be the new
1034
02:09:34,360 --> 02:09:41,630
Doctor Who Chris Marshall is a British
actor he isn't very old but yes maybe
1035
02:09:41,630 --> 02:09:55,270
who knows this might be one of the
strangest endings ever they are still
1036
02:09:55,270 --> 02:10:00,460
talking about Wimbledon they are still
going on about Wimbledon they are doing
1037
02:10:00,460 --> 02:10:05,510
this on purpose
I think the BBC are trolling us all I
1038
02:10:05,510 --> 02:10:10,240
think they are actually playing a prank
they are playing a prank they are
1039
02:10:10,240 --> 02:10:16,760
keeping this going as long as they
possibly can that's it then I gave them
1040
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:26,570
a chance but they they decided to to
talk about tennis rich Kenzo says how to
1041
02:10:26,570 --> 02:10:32,930
be lucky how to be lucky I don't know I
don't know how to be lucky I'm still
1042
02:10:32,930 --> 02:10:39,420
trying myself to be honest maybe one day
goodbye mr. Duncan have a nice week Ana
1043
02:10:39,420 --> 02:10:45,10
Ana Duarte says goodbye I am going now
it would appear that we are not going to
1044
02:10:45,10 --> 02:10:52,610
find out who the new Doctor Who is and
to be honest I I've lost complete
1045
02:10:52,610 --> 02:10:59,230
interest now I've lost complete interest
because they they really are playing
1046
02:10:59,230 --> 02:11:08,990
games no we are still waiting for the
announcement well I hope it's danger dee
1047
02:11:08,990 --> 02:11:13,970
Dench that's all I can say I'm going
